If you think about it, we, the West, those that are elites, haven't seusroily discussed the specifics of nuclear war this much, since the deployment of the Pershing IIs, in the mid '80s.It's like we're all Dr. Wohlstetter, the guy that was part of the basis for Dr. Strangelove, the other being Edmund Teller.

Actually, the rapid and near totalcollapse of the Palestinian 'entityis the lesosn I draw from this aidfiasco.They aren't a 'nation' they arejust the largest public housingproject in the world. So what doesthe really mean for the socalledpeace process, roadmap or whateverthe hell it is called now?Of course the Palestinians can'tsign any peace treaty or come toany permanent settlement with theIsraelis. Once they do the clockstarts ticking on their welfarestatus. It's like expecting welfarequeens to take a minimum wage jobwhen they get $4,000 a month inbenefits as long as they don'twork.
